If an ID is passed or an existing employee is matched (according to the matchType parameter), it will be updated. Otherwise a new employee will be created.

MatchType parameter values:

  • Standard (default): attempts to match an existing employee - first, based on the IRD number, then based on first name + surname + date of birth
  • None: do not attempt to match an existing employee (create a new one)
  • An employee may be created with a status of 'Incomplete' by specifying at least the minimum fields; firstName, surname, startDate, employmentType, taxCodeDeclaration_IrdNumber, taxCodeDeclaration_EsctRate, kiwiSaver_EnrollmentStatus.
    For an employee record to be considered 'Complete' the following groups of data are required:

  • Basic Details (Name, Start Date, Date of Birth and Address Details)
  • Tax Code Declaration (Tax Code and Employment Type)
  • Pay Run Defaults (Default Pay Category, Pay Cycle and Location)
  • Locations (at least one)
  • Bank Account/s (at least one)
  • Kiwi Saver Contribution Plan
  • If reporting dimensions are enabled for the business, add primary reporting dimension values using "|" as a separator between values.
